A company called Addison Company bought a vehicle on January 1, 2002 that had an original costs of 60,000, with an estimated salvage value of 5,000 and an estimated useful life of 5 years. What is the book value as of 12-31-05 using the double-declining balance method?
Annual depreciation rate as per straight line method=(100/5)=20%/year
Hence depreciation as per double decline balance method=2*Annual depreciation rate as per straight line method*Beginning value of each period
Year | Beginning value | Depreciation | Ending value |
2002 | 60000 | (2*20%*60000)=$24000 | (60000-24000)=$36000 |
2003 | 36000 | (2*20%*36000)=$14400 | (36000-14400)=$21600 |
2004 | 21600 | (2*20%*21600)=$8640 | (21600-8640)=$12960 |
2005 | 12960 | (2*20%*12960)=$5184 | (12960-5184)=$7776. |
